Not long ago I had to return to the business casual world. After having got away with wearing leggings while working at home and jeans or shorts and a t-shirt when out.

With the help of input from some of my blog readers such as Anonymous’ replyto my blog of March 6th this year I got cued in to the advantages of sweaters and skirts. This helped me a lot. But I clung to my love of a suit jacket; this is one thing I learned lately. Buying sweaters and other knits from Silhouettes is fine, for me. But unless you need lots of room in the back, I strongly suggest against Silhouettes for jackets and vest. Unless you like the boxy look, or have time to shape it your self.

Here is one of there current money saving deals combine it with the Buyer club, See bottom right of their pages, for GREAT Savings

I kept the two washed linen vests and returned the 2 stretch twill jackets I purchased from them. That was largely because the armholes and sleeves were very wide. I exchanged them for their notched collar jacket, which was in their outlet store but is out of stock at the moment all over apparently. It has reasonably sized sleeves but still the way to big back. The fabric was fantastically soft and lovely. The collarless version of that jacket is available in some sizes and colors in their outlet store for just $19! Likely have lots of room in the back but if you need or like that, like I said the fabric is just sooo nice!

Currently there is a box of sweaters and tunics I purchased from them on sale last week on the dinning room table. Not only on sale, but with my buyer’s club discount and their current discount, I enjoyed over $35 off my whole purchase. I know that dressing for work will be a snap starting tomorrow. Because I have worn their tunics for years and they will fit and flatter with comfort and easy!

So my recent lesson is: need or like roomy back tops and Jackets, Silhouettes full figure fashions are for you.Like beautifully draping sweaters, and tunics? You’ll find these at Silhouettes too. They also have nice standard leggings, in long or Capri size. I’ve been wearing these for years too. They actually last for years with little sign of wear. And are so comfy I wear them near daily.

The best savings at Silhouettes are with their buyers club discount taking advantage of the current off of your choice when you favorites go on sale. You can usually find a small variety of their sale offers on the home, suits and dresses pages of my Plus Size Women’s Clothing website.

This Gap link also appears to include Old Navy and Banana Republic, who also has sizes up to 18.

Bra Sizing Information

Not all bra cup sizes are the same, as an example: Starting at cup size DD, Chantelle bras are sized differently than Fantasie, Freya and Panache bras.

Thinking about trying a brand you have not tried before?

Check out Bigger Bras Bra Size Comparison Charts to see how a Fantasie bra cup compares to a Panache and a Chantelle and the like!

Bigger Bras has two different bra size measuring methods you can try too.

Not sure what your bra cup size is and the info that you have found at intimates stores is not getting the fit you want?

Here is how I finally figured out a way, that worked for me at least to My Own Cup Size Finding Solution. This method finally go a fit that allowed my underwires to lie flat against my breast bone. Worked for me. Might work for you too!

I think the side support is what really does it. What it does is make me feel like a teenager again. I am an over 50 year old woman who wears a size 34HH, or J!

This bra gives excellent lift and front projection, with a natural shape! That makes the most of my waist, which is not an easy thing to do.
